Planting Wild Grapes Kathleen Kramer

Planting Wild Grapes showcases a writer at the height of her imaginative powers. Kathleen Kramer beckons the reader into a naturalistic world teeming with life-here we stand with her bathed in sunlight at the edge of a river, listening to the water rushing over the rocks as we contemplate our short time on this planet. In rich detail and without a trace of sentimentality, Kramer presents poignant stories documenting the universal truths of advancing age, declining health and the loss of loved ones. These are poems to be savored during seasons, read while sitting on the porch in the summertime and sipping a tall glass of lemonade, or rocking in front of a woodstove in the winter while the snow gathers outside the frosted windows of your living room.
